    I like everything about this except the boots.
    They look to me like folded down riding boots which would have been worn with trews rather than a kilt.
    I suppose they could have been stripped from an enemy but the figure looks as if he could have afforded a pretty decent pair of ghillie brogues. Only my opinion but ghillies would give a better balance.
    Cheers

    I'm pretty sure it's based on a character from Outlander. He wears those boots. beautiful sculpt.

    Hi Del, Scotty thanks for the kind words the boots as Scotty has said are based on a character from out lander. That was the inspiration for the figure.

    I need to watch more telly :D Now it's been clarified I assume that the production company costume department referenced their inner Nancy Sinatra ;)
    That being said its a belter of a figure and all the better for giving the painter a complete scene.

    Hi Del, I think Nancy would have been proud mate lol. It is a nice figure and should paint up very well indeed.

    I'm not totally against it and maybe it's just me, but whenever I see a "historical" figure that turns out to be based on a fictional movie or TV character, I kind of feel it takes something away from it and puts me off it a bit (no issues with fictional pieces marketed as such).

    All that said, that in itself isn't necessarily a deal-breaker every time, the sculpt is absolutely first rate and it'll look fabulous painted up. And the texturing on his jacket looks excellent. Who sculpted it?

    I think this is a nice piece, and will paint up a treat.
    The fact that it's based on a film character doesn't bother me, if you like it, paint it.
